Abstract: A seal assembly is provided. The seal assembly includes a first outer shim and a second outer shim The second outer shim is operably coupled to the first outer shim and comprises at least one substantially impermeable portion that spans across a gap between at least two turbomachine components. The second outer shim further engages the at least two turbomachine components to substantially seal the gap. The substantially impermeable portion is substantially planar at least along a width of the seal assembly. The seal assembly further includes a resilient member that is either coupled to at least a portion of an outer surface of the first outer shim or comprises an integral portion of the first outer shim The resilient member engages the seal assembly to contact bottom surfaces of a cavity defined between the at least two turbomachine components.

Abstract: A blade includes an airfoil defined by a pressure side outer wall and a suction side outer wall connecting along leading and trailing edges and form a radially extending chamber for receiving a coolant flow. A rib configuration may include: a leading edge transverse rib connecting the pressure side outer wall and the suction side outer wall and partitioning the radially extending chamber into a leading edge passage within the leading edge of the airfoil and a central passage adjacent to the leading edge passage. One or both camber line ribs connect to a corresponding pressure side outer wall and suction side outer wall at a point aft of the leading edge transverse rib causing the central passage to extend towards one or both of the pressure side outer wall and the suction side outer wall, resulting in a flared center cavity aft of the leading edge.

Abstract: A turbine blade airfoil including various internal cavities that are fluidly coupled is disclosed. The airfoil may include a first pressure side cavity positioned adjacent a pressure side of the airfoil. The first pressure side cavity may receive a coolant. The airfoil may also include a second pressure side cavity positioned adjacent to and fluidly coupled to the first pressure side cavity, and at least one channel positioned between and fluidly coupling the first and second pressure side cavities. The channel may be positioned radially between a top surface and a bottom surface of the first and second pressure side cavities. Additionally, the airfoil may include a trailing edge cooling system positioned adjacent a trailing edge and in direct fluid communication with the first pressure side cavity. The trailing edge cooling system may receive a portion of the coolant from the first pressure side cavity.

Abstract: An internal rib for a blade airfoil has a concave surface defined to ensure durability and provide desired heat transfer. A concave surface faces a pressure side or suction side outer wall. A width is between a first end and a second end, and a depth is a length of a normal depth line between a midpoint of the concave surface and an intersection point of the depth line with the pressure or suction side outer wall. An irregular arc is defined within an arc angle centered at the intersection point, the irregular arc has a first arc radius equivalent to the depth at the midpoint of the concave surface and a second arc radius where the arc angle intersects the concave surface equivalent to a product of the depth and a shape factor. The shape factor has a substantially linear relationship with the aspect ratio.
